Making a Good Day Camp Decision For Your ChildIf you’re a parent considering summer camp opportunities

for your child, you might consider a day camp rather than (or in addition to) a sleepaway camp experience. Parents often view sending their kids to day camps as a “stepping stone” to overnight camp. They might think day camps are for “younger kids” and sleepaway camps are for older ones. In some cases this might be true, but not always.

One of the advantages you have as a parent when com-paring day camps to overnight camps (or even day camps to day camps) is that a day camp’s customer base is generally restricted to its local geographical area. This makes things easier for you to learn more about the camp. For example, you can contact the camp’s current or former customers for references, and you can even visit the camp before making a decision.

So how do you know you’re picking the right day camp for your child? Here’s a 3-point checklist to help ensure the day camp you choose is the right one for your child.

1. Check references. Since day camps primarily serve local customers, it should not be difficult to find a few families who’ve attended the camp before. Talk to them about their impressions of the program. If you hear good things, you might have a winner. Mixed reviews, on the other hand, could be a “red flag” alerting you to research the camp further. But if everyone you speak with has only negative things to say, then rule that day camp out, pat yourself on the back for taking the time to conduct a thorough investigation, and keep looking for a different camp.

2. Involve your child in the decision making process. Research shows that kids enjoy camp more when they’re

included in the decision-making process. Since there are so many different types of day camps to choose from, it’s important to match your child’s interests and personality with the activities the day camp offers. Accordingly, it’s advisable to take a tour of the camp and/or attend an open house together with your child. After you’ve toured the camp, ask for your child’s opinion. This can be a much better approach than unilaterally deciding which day camp your child will attend without consulting them ahead of time, as asking for their input means they’ll probably have a more positive camp experience in the end.

3. Tour the camp and meet the staff. Most day camps hold open houses or organized facility tours during the prime camp enrollment season (generally springtime). These events are great opportunities for you to meet the staff, ask questions and see how the camp operates on a day-to-day basis. You might even decide to attend several camps’ open houses for a point of comparison and to see where you get the best “vibe.” Attending a day camp open house or touring the facility is the single BEST way to see what you’re getting into ahead of time.

Camp is such a personal experience. You want your child to connect with his or her counselors on a personal level and admire them as leaders and role models. You owe it to yourself and your child to pick a day camp that your child will look back on later in life and say, “I remember that camp, and it was the best experience of my life!” Your child deserves the best. It’s your responsibility as a parent to put him or her in an environ-ment where they can thrive, and choosing the right day camp can make this happen for you. Happy day camping!

Campus Open House ‐ February 24. Call 770‐538‐2938 or [email protected] to RSVP.

S.O.A.R. July 7 - August 2, 2013

Riverside’s four-week Summer Opportunity and Academic Review is designed to help boys in grades 7 - 11 prepare for the upcoming school year, and strengthen their academic skills. Twenty challenging academic courses are offered during S.O.A.R. Cadets can choose from original and remedial courses. Because Riverside believes there is a strong connection between physical and mental development, extra-curricular activities and field trips play an important role in S.O.A.R. Our summer recreational program takes full advantage of our state-of-the art campus athletic facilities and our proximity to Lake Lanier.
